"How come you can already apply for the assessment task to be promoted to four stars? Didn't you just get promoted to three-star hunter within a few months?" An Xil almost jumped up from his seat.
Gordon showed two rows of teeth with some pride: "Because I have been taking advantage of other people's three-star missions during the year I was in Minagard City, so the number of three-star missions accumulated in my hunter's notebook has reached the level of promotion. standard."
"Can it still be like this?" Anxier stared, his previous elegance and calmness gone.
In fact, Gordon himself only noticed it after being reminded by the poster girl Marian. Not to mention, perhaps this was his biggest gain during his period as a "two-and-a-half-star hunter".
——Saved nearly a whole year of time!
Anhil cursed and took out his hunter's notebook, looked through it and calculated the formation, and said with some surprise: "Hey, actually I do too."
"You met the standard too?"
Ancier put away the hunter's note, "Not yet, but it will be soon. Including this mission to capture the lava dragon, there is still one three-star hunting mission before I can apply for promotion."
Gordon nodded upon hearing this.
It’s not surprising. It’s true that he used his “privilege” to participate in the three-star mission crazily during the Minagard period. Ancil didn’t take any chances after becoming a three-star hunter.
In the past year or so, this guy has been traveling around in search of breakthroughs, and has solved quite a few three-star monsters.
"So, should we complete another three-star hunting mission in the volcanic zone before leaving, or should we find a three-star hunting mission on the way after leaving the volcano?" Gordon asked.
No matter what, he decided to help Ancier get the qualification to apply for promotion to a four-star hunter first.
It would be best if the two of them could apply for a promotion mission together, because they were both three-star hunters, and hunting in a team was not a violation.
If Gordon was promoted to four stars first, he would not be able to participate in Ancier's promotion mission. In order to prevent hunters from cheating, high-star players were expressly prohibited from helping low-star players pass the promotion mission.
Ancier naturally understood what Gordon meant. After pondering for a few seconds, he said: "Let's find tasks to do on the way to Kokot Village. The volcano is a little tired of being idle, so just relax on the way."
"Okay, then it's decided!"
Gordon is a man of great action, and so, coincidentally, is Ancil.
The next day after they decided to leave, the two immediately sold off most of the materials they would not use in the future, packed the remaining luggage, and asked a caravan to send it to Kokot Village.
In the past few months when they were based in Naguli Village, they spent most of their time mining in the volcanic zone.
Therefore, there were not many people who had friendships with each other. There were only three people among them, and that was the result including Marianne, the waitress.
As for the other two, they are naturally the water beast girl Lily, and the father and daughter of the Tulong tribe village chief.
There was no other way to say goodbye to these two barrels. In short, they were full of ale. That night, Gordon and Ancil, who were drunk, were dragged back by the pork chop.
As a result of saying goodbye like this, the two people's schedule was forced to be postponed for one more day.
Gordon, who was a good drinker, was fine, but he woke up the next day with a hangover and a headache.
The worst thing was that Anhil, this guy who usually drank a little bit of red wine for the sake of romance, had vomited all night, even all the bile. At this time, he put the back of his hand to his forehead, lying flat on the bed and moaning.
Gordon picked up a chair and sat down next to Ancil's bedside table, as if he were accompanying a patient in the ward.
Gordon, who is more than 190 years old and as strong and generous as a wall, naturally cannot learn the gentle techniques of nurses. Regardless of someone's weak protest, he pinched his mouth open and poured in half a bottle of cold water. , he said:
"By the way, we haven't decided how to travel yet. Walk with the caravan? Take a boat? Or take an airship?"
"Do we have to discuss these now?" Anhil said weakly.
Gordon shrugged, looking like a rogue who said, "It's just a hangover, what's the big deal?"
"Hey" Anhir sighed.
He sat up from the bed, kicked away the sleeping pork chop on his lap, and looked at Gordon in front of the bed. He had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, like "the father is seriously ill, and the unfilial son asks about the inheritance at the bedside."
Gordon: "What's that look in your eyes?"
Anhil waved his hand, "I suggest taking an airship. There is a line from Naguli Village to East Doruma. After arriving in East Doruma, we can transfer to the airship to Minagard or Melchita. This distance is Kokot Village is not far away.”
Hearing this, Gordon and Pig Pork looked at each other and shook their heads.
Anhir: "?"
Gordon said: "Taking an airship is too dangerous. We haven't gotten over the psychological shadow yet. Let's find another mode of transportation."
"The god has not come out of his psychological shadow." Ancier said angrily: "Do you think Gu Long is a big wild boar? Just meet him if you say you will meet him? How comfortable it is to fly in an airship, fast and safe."
Gordon and Pork Chop looked at each other again.
"Two to one, the proposal is invalid, no airship."
"Don't take advantage of meow."
Anhir: "."
Where's my crystal rifle?
After chatting with each other for a while, seeing that Gordon and the others were firm, Ancil compromised and said slowly: "If you don't want to take the airship, don't take it. Then the only option is to take the boat.
It is impossible to take the land route with the caravan, because the caravan will also take a boat. The Giokeruk Sea (inland sea) separates Naguli Village and Kokot Village, so the land route needs to go around the sea.
To go west, you must first cross the land bridge, and then traverse the entire Metabe forest. To the north, it is even more outrageous. You must first pass through the unknown sea of trees, then climb over the Sky Mountain, and finally cross the Curbutios Wetland. , to finally arrive at Kokot Village. "
Gordon's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard this.
Walking down the road, climbing over mountains and ridges was a bit too exciting.
"If we take the boat, where will we go?" Gordon asked.
Anhil opened the bedside table, pulled out a map of the continent, and said: "The most important route must be to East Doruma, in order to send the ore from the volcanic zone.
Another route is to Metabetat, which is a small city. "
Gordon nodded and said: "I know Metabetate. Although I have never been there, it is not too far from Kokot Village. Let's choose this route.
Take a boat across the inland sea and land in Metabetate City. It is best to complete a three-star hunting mission there so that you can qualify for promotion.
Then, we walked to Kokot Village. I am familiar with the hilly terrain in the nearby area, so it is stable! "
On the third day after receiving the hero's stone, Gordon and his party, fully armed and ready for the trip, bid farewell to the village chief and his daughter and embarked on the journey again.
Gordon, who lacked geographical knowledge, originally thought that he could take a boat directly to sea after leaving Naguli Village, but the reality gave him a big surprise.
The port near Naguli Village is open to the open sea. If you want to take a boat across the inland sea, you must cross the volcano from the western foot and go out to sea from another port hundreds of kilometers away.
This is another excruciating journey.
A few days later.
After leaving the area shrouded in volcanic ash and arriving at the southeastern port of the Geokeruk Sea, Gordon and his party finally saw the blue sky after months of absence.
Ps. It was a bit difficult to write this chapter. I checked a lot of map information, but looking back it seems a bit unnecessary.
